Use case:
When performing home maintenance, such as air conditioning, I want all rules involving air conditioning to be disabled.
To do this, to day, I have a virtual switch that I placed within all rules involving air conditioning, meaning that if I turn it off, none of them work.
Then another situation: the water pump system and garden irrigation, another switch.
In short, I had to create several virtual switches in Hubitat to disable rules in MSR.
Unfortunately, however, I was unable to cover all scenarios, so I wondered if it would be possible for MSR to support a virtual MSR switch, which, when configured in the reactor settings, would function as a general on/off switch for MSR.
If it is configured and turned off, the entire rules and actions in MSR stops working, except for the status change reading process, specifically for this switch, which, when turned on, would restart the MSR.
Would it be possible to do something like this? Any recommendations from the experts?
@toggledbits, not sure if this is a feature request or I'm using the search tool wrong. You have a "Search for rule" in the Rules Set tab in MSR. It works nicely to find a rule and bring up said rule, but can it/could it be used for as a "where used?" global search? For instance, I have a fairly large set of rules, divided up into 10 different rulesets. There's easily a hundred individual rules, and many of the rules have Rule State triggers, which of course refer to other rules. Amongst my troubleshooting today, I came across what may have been a duplicate or troubleshooting attempt, but I can't tell if it's actually used as a Rule State in another rule without opening each rule that I suspect it may be a part of.
Thanks.
I'm running MSR build 25139 on Docker, using MQTT controller 24293, and everything working as expected. But if I try to upgrade to MQTTController build 25139, I'm getting the following errors on MSR UI:

I realize my MQTT configuration might be a bit unorthodox, but could there still be something unintentional in the latest MQTTController build? If needed, I can provide detailed logs.
Since today is my birthday - and I still pretend to be unconventional - I'm giving away a present to this wonderful community and I'm releasing my first OpenSprinkler controller for MSR. It was real fun to code it - and while it's still WIP, it seems to work OK for me. It's polling-based at the moment, but I'll add support for updates via MQTT very soon (it's already partially coded).
Get it at (install is similar to MQTTController and such):
https://github.com/dbochicchio/reactor-opensprinkler
Feel free to try it. It's beta software, but it's stable. I'll update it weekly until all the tasks from my todo list are empty.
Since I've learnt a lot from this controller, I'll explore new controllers soon.
Good day all,
I'm in the process of trying to shut down my 10 year old Linux home server that served many purposes, but primarily it's what I used for my NAS/Plex Media server. I migrated the NAS aspect of the server in November of last year to a true NAS solution (Ubiquti UNAS Pro), which is rack mount and much more efficient than my old tower, which it's only side benefit was heating my home office during the winter. Unfortunately it also means heating my home office during the summer, which were about to be in full swing.
I have two things running on this 10 year old server at this point. MSR and pi-hole. I'm running Plex Media Server on Fedora Workstation in Podman on mini PC, which is much more energy efficient than my old tower. My next step is to migrate MSR. I know there are images of MSR out there, and creating it is well documented. I'm going to be using Podman instead of Docker for various reasons, but they work very similar. What I don't know, is what I need to do to migrate my existing Bare Metal installation over to a container.
Has anyone done this? Any advice?
Build 21228 has been released. Docker images available from DockerHub as usual, and bare-metal packages here.
Home Assistant up to version 2021.8.6 supported; the online version of the manual will now state the current supported versions;
Fix an error in OWMWeatherController that could cause it to stop updating;
Unify the approach to entity filtering on all hub interface classes (controllers); this works for device entities only; it may be extended to other entities later;
Improve error detail in messages for EzloController during auth phase;
Add isRuleSet() and isRuleEnabled() functions to expressions extensions;
Implement set action for lock and passage capabilities (makes them more easily scriptable in some cases);
Fix a place in the UI where 24-hour time was not being displayed.
Hi guys,
Just wondering how you guys organize your rule sets and rules. I wish I had an extra layer to have some more granularity, but my feature request was not popular.
Maybe there are better ways to organize my rule sets.
I use the rule sets now primarily for rooms. So a rule set per room. But maybe grouping by functionality works better. Any examples/ suggestions would be appreciated.
I have the following yaml configuration in local_mqtt_devices file
x_mqtt_device:
set_speed:
arguments:
speed:
type: str
topic: "command/%friendly_name%"
payload:
type: json
expr: '{ "fan": parameters.speed }'
While this works fine, I'm wondering how this could be changed to "fixed" parameters, as in this case "fan" only accepts "A", "Q" or a numeric value of 1-5?
No drop-down list on Entity Attribute in "Creation Rule Sets" interface
-
New installation of Reactor version 23063-c464b685 on a Raspberry PI4 with Portainer/Docker.
Report :
No drop-down list on Entity Attribute in "Creation Rule Sets" interface
I can however visualize the entities.
I have configured HomeAssistant and all entities are coming up fine.
I have an unsupported Hass version 2023.3.0b5.
I'm new to Docker and can someone guide me to a solution?

Yes, but clicking does not open the dialog box: nothing happens....
I already use a version of Reactor installed on another Raspberry pi4, installed without Docker and it works fine.I'm migrating to a new raspberry pi 4 where I installed Docker, Portainer, MQTT, Zigbee2Mqtt, Zwave-js-ui without issue.
The installation of Reactor seems correct, the only problem is that no dialog box opens when clicking to select an entity.
I restarted the installation several times and I have the same observation.
Can you please give me some hint to try to solve this problem. Why does the click not call the entities dialog box?

Have you hard-refreshed the browser? Tried a different browser?
-
I'm using Google Chrome Version 111.0.5563.50 (Official Build) beta (64 bit)
I refreshed the browser, but the click does not open the entities dialog
I just found that I have the same problem on Global expressions, I can't display the entities list.
I feel like the call function to open the entities dialog is not working. -

I feel like the call function to open the entities dialog is not working.Go to the Entities list, and open the detail panel for some entity that you know will have actions, like a light switch or dimmer. Try to click on one of the actions, like
power_switch.offand see if it opens a dialog. If not, your browser has a pop-up blocker embedded and you need to allow the IP address that your new Reactor is installed on to open pop-ups.
Also, did you try a different browser as I suggested?

Following the change of browser (Microsoft Edge) and the proper functioning of the entities dialog box, I modified my Google Chrome version
from the beta version (Version 111.0.5563.50 (Official build) beta (64 bits))
to the stable version (Version 110.0.5481.178 (Official Build) (64-bit))
to see that it works fine.
Thank you once again for your help which solved my problem which had been going on for several days...

2- I changed browser, I used Microsoft Edge and miraculously it works and the Entities dialog box opens correctly.
Thank you for your help ...
but why Google Chrome which is my favorite browser does not work ...I note that you're using a beta version of Chrome, which may contain bugs. I tried installing the same beta version, and it worked fine for me, as does the current release version (stable, for Windows). But if Edge works for you, that also suggests the issue is specific to your browser instance.
Again, you need to check Chrome's configuration settings to make sure that pop-ups are explicitly not blocked for the IP address of your host. In Chrome settings, search for "pop-up" to find this configuration area. Failing that, I would try purging all site data and caches in Chrome's "Privacy and Security" settings, and do "Reset Settings" at the root of Chrome's settings.
